...first settlers of European descent arrived in Montana, they only found about 10 fish species in Flathead lake. The introduction of non native species have add numbers to that 10 fish species, including lake trout, lake whitefish, mysis shrimp, and many more. Adding these fish have started to cause havoc in the niches of native species, example the lake trout causing harm to the bull trout. The lake trouts population has increased drastically from the introduction of mysis shrimp, now we wonder what should we do about the lake trout numbers that are out of hand. We should manage the lake trout and try to make their numbers smaller instead of taking a ‘hand off’ approach. Flathead Lake is not the original place of lake trout and they are taking some of the natives food sources like the bull trout. Flathead Lake was iced as recently as 15-20,000 year prior. Ice being a tough place for fish to live, the low diversity is not surprising (Bansak, n.d.) This shows that the lake was not a place that fish could easily live. Of course this didn’t stop early fisheries managers, who brought in non native fishes to ‘improve’ Flathead Lake and the waters of Montana. Doing so in buckets, backpacks, mule trains, railroad cars, tanker trucks, and even...

Lake Conroe can be caught in different locations in Texas The Lake Conroe is considered as the best destination for holiday and vacations. There survival is attached to pure cold water. This trout is very sensitive to water temperature changes. If the water temperature goes up by a few degrees the trout will die off, or move to a different location. The rainbow trout are not affected as much by the water temperature changes should the water clarity get bad due to silt the fish will move out to the mouths of any stream with clear water This pink fleshy trout is the favorite with trout fishermen. It feeds on small flies but can be tempted to strike small lures and other baits. This fish will remain in the shallow water till it...

This diverse range of ecological zones supports a rich faunal diversity, including fish. Gilgit-Baltistan region is blessed with great water resources covering rivers, streams and alpine lakes fed by the snowmelt and glacier waters. The area is a fishing Paradise, surrounded by huge mountains and lakes which gives a beautiful scene and an ideal place for fishing and hunting. Many anglers’ local and foreigner come here for hunting and have a great fishing experience of lifetime. The present studies reveal that there are about 19 species of native fishes found in different areas of GB among which trout is famous. This specie has now well established itself and is found in most of the rivers and lakes of Gilgit, Skardu and Ghizer districts. Particularly, upstream of Ghizer River and its tributaries contain large number of brown trout. No fish market has been emerged in GB areas in spite of the fact that Boyh, Rainbow trout and Brown trout are the most delicious fishes. Moreover the area has unlimited water resources for production of species. Where are the fishes found? Distribution of species in the river systems of Gilgit-Baltistan is not even because of...

...Published: 08/09/2013 Abstract Hindukash - Karakoram - Himalayan (HKH) is a hazard prone region where triggering of landslides due to seismic, geological, hydrological or anthropogenic reasons is a common phenomenon. On 4th January 2010, a massive landslide at Attabad swept the low lying Surat village and blocked Hunza River thereby creating a dam resulting into a huge lake upstream. As a result of preliminary planning, emergency response was launched by Frontier Works Organization (FWO), a civil engineering component of Pakistan Army Engineers on instruction of the Federal Government and a 24 meters deep spillway cut was made through which the water started flowing on 29th May 2010 resulting into lowering of water in the lake. A detailed planning ensued and different proposals including those of Chinese, Americans and FWO were considered and finally based on cost-benefit analysis, the indigenous effort for execution was approved. FWO planned the operation in five stages whereby 675 meters long spillway was to be deepened by 30 meters having a width of approximately 60 meters resulting into lowering of water in the lake by over 50 percent. The working and weather conditions were extreme. The work was only possible in winter season when the water inflow reduced to minimum. FWO with dynamic leadership, meticulous planning, determined execution and methodical working achieved the assigned target within three working seasons and reduced the spillway bed level from 2398 meters to 2368 meters...

...Report Jonathan W. Moore, Daniel E. Schindler, Mark D. Scheuerell, Danielle Smith and Jonathan Frodge Lake Eutrophication at the Urban Fringe, Seattle Region, USA Nutrient pollution and associated eutrophication of freshwaters threaten the ecological integrity and the services provided to humans by lakes. We examined how human residential development influenced the level of lake eutrophication in the Seattle, WA, USA, region. We surveyed 30 lakes and measured 3 indicators of eutrophication: concentrations of chlorophyll-a and phosphorus, and the proportion of algae that are inedible to zooplankton. We classified lakes based on the waste-treatment method for shoreline homes: septic, sewer, and undeveloped lakes. Septic lakes occurred along the urban-rural fringe while sewer lakes occurred near urban centers. Septic lakes were more eutrophic than sewer lakes and undeveloped lakes, as indicated by higher levels of phosphorus and chlorophyll-a. These results suggest that septic systems contribute to the high levels of eutrophication in lakes at the urbanrural fringe. Lakes at the urban-rural fringe represent an opportunity for proactive management of urban expansion to minimize lake eutrophication. A lake without shoreline development. Undeveloped lakes were less eutrophic than lakes with shoreline houses. Photo: D. Schindler.

...Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut is the story of an American soldier named Billy Pilgrim who is taken prisoner by the Germans in World War II. Suffering from some sort of post-traumatic stress, Billy believes that he can travel in time and that he was abducted and kept captive by aliens for several months. Consequentially, the story is told in nonlinear bits and fragments. Billy Pilgrim is a scrawny, disoriented, fatalistic optometrist who does not like war. The story of his life as a soldier begins just before he and an antitank gunner are captured, when he has his first ‘time traveling’ experience and witnesses the entirety of his life from beginning to end. Billy is transported to a POW camp in Germany by boxcar. Upon arrival, the new...

...Slaughterhouse-Five is an extraordinarily figurative piece of literature via Kurt Vonnegut. The most distinguished rhetorical gadgets in the textual content are repetition, similes, and personification. Repetition is used every time the writer states “so it goes.” This motif is continuously repeated in this novel following any mention of death. A clear instance of this is in chapter 5 (pg. 106) while Vonnegut claims “A lot of people were being wounded or killed. So it goes," while talking of the “children’s crusade.” The limitless quantity of instances this phrase is presented within the novel displays the huge quantity of death Billy experienced during his life illuminating the grotesque destructiveness of war. Repetition is also molded to...

...In Slaughterhouse-Five, Billy Pilgrim’s most traumatic experiences all came from his childhood. Even though Billy endured the devastating traumas of war, his traumatizing experience still came from his childhood, caused by his father. All that was noted about Billy’s father was that he was a barber, he died in an hunting accident while Billy was in the army. The the most predominant experience Billy had with his father was when he decided to teach Billy how to swim. He did this by using the swim or sink method, “His father was going to throw Billy into the deep end, and Billy was going to damn well swim” (Vonnegut 43). This traumatized Billy as it nearly killed him. Billy fell unconscious and almost drowned before he was saved. He describes...

...Cause and effect draft | Cause And Effect Of Water Pollution In Lake Huron | Assignment 3.1 Determining Cause and Effects | Keimara Brooks | | 8/19/2012 | Dr.Gordon | Introduction The Great Lakes together form the world’s largest fresh water system. They supply a significant amount of the world’s fresh water supply. The great lakes are not only an important source of fresh water, these mast bodies of water also are known to be a home for many wildlife species. For many years the Great Lakes have served as a dumping ground for many harmful pollutants. From industrial waste and drain pipes to pesticides and fertilizer runoff s the Great Lakes are suffering. Damage of this kind produce harmful conditions for the fish, wildlife, and humans dwelling in the surrounding area of the region. Sources of Pollution in the Great Lakes Earlier age industrial companies, such as pulp and paper, operating near the Great Lakes region dumped waste including mercury into the water using pipes and/or vessels. Some of this polluting was done involuntarily with the malfunctioning of these pipes or vessels. Other times were intentional sticking to the theory that water “neutralizes” all substances. Fecal matter was another strand of pollution found in later experiments performed on the water of the Great Lakes. The source of this pollutant was believed to be sewage. Sewage...

...Slaughterhouse Five Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut is an anti-war novel written in 1969. This novel shadows a soldier, Billy Pilgrim, during the Second World War. The bombing of Dresden, Germany is the main event. Due to the fact that this is the main event, Slaughterhouse Five is a semi-autobiographical novel. The main character of Slaughterhouse Five is Billy Pilgrim. Billy is a confused, defeatist, and an ill-trained soldier for America. Billy refuses to fight in the war “Billy wouldn’t do anything to save himself” (Vonnegut 43). He journeys back and forth through time “From there he traveled in time to 1965” (55). Billy was a prisoner of war in World War II and was taken by the Germans. He also believes that he was taken by aliens to a planet called Tralfamadore. Many people in Slaughterhouse Five do not like Billy Pilgrim. One person in particular is Paul Lazzaro, another bizarre and ill-tempered prisoner of war. Paul does not like Billy because Billy was blamed for the death of Paul’s noble acquaintance, Roland Weary. Regardless of Billy’s objections, Paul Lazzaro vows to kill Billy. Paul retains a mental list of his rivals and he claims the he will have any person “Killed for a thousand dollars plus traveling expenses”(140). The narrator also said that Lazzaro “threaten[ed] to have his personal enemies killed by hired gunmen after the war” (1). Roland Weary, a man infatuated with blood and gore, does not like Billy either. In hope of a military medal, Weary...

...Slaughterhouse-Five - Imagery Kurt Vonnegut's uses many images to enhance the overall effect of Slaughterhouse- Five. Throughout the novel, in both war scenes and in the protagonist's travels back and forward in time, the many images produce a believable story of the unusual life of Billy Pilgrim. Vonnegut uses color imagery, repetitive images, and images of pain and suffering to develop the novel and create situations that the reader can accept and comprehend. Billy Pilgrim's life is far from normal. Throughout most of his adult life he has been moving backwards and forwards through time, from one event to another, in a non-sequential order. At least, this schizophrenic life is hard to understand. Because Vonnegut wants the reader to relate to Billy Pilgrim, he uses distinct images to tell the story. One type of imagery in Slaughterhouse-Five is color imagery. While Billy is in the war, Vonnegut describes several pairs of "blue and ivory" feet. Billy's own hands and feet are blue and ivory, as are those of the corpses he glimpses during his march as prisoner of war (Vonnegut 65). These colors represent those that are cold, dead, or dying. At another point in the novel, Billy describes his first time traveling experience.He began to "swing grandly through the full arc of his life, passing into death, which was violet light . . . going backwards into pre-birth, which was red light and bubbling sounds" (43). The careful and vivid depiction of colors enables the...
